In the video What is Culture? Dugan states that culture is learned. I agree with his statement because my family has a strong Mexican culture where most of the women are house wives, they do not receive an education, and males are seen as superior. On the other hand, when I migrated here I learned…
I found this module, and specifically the focus on cultural changes within our society to be extremely interesting/intriguing.
